Day 2: B for

"I
think therefore I blog"
When I
published my book “Going off Dreams”
on Amazon this past February, I learned that in order to get more recognition
was to start a blog. First I created my series its own website
goingoffdreams.com and then my first blog goingoffdreams.blogspot.com. When I
started to write about other things besides my book, I branched out. For my
love of movies and TV there is Wait Watch Wonder waitwatchwonder.blogspot.com.
I have experienced a lot in my life, so when I get the notion I write personal
testimonies in my blog titled Faith Warrior at testimonyinlife.blogspot.com.
And, naturally – for my blog challenges I have dedicated the blog What Shall We
Blog about Today? (kenowinsky.blogspot.com)
My writing
was cultivated during the time that I earned my Associates Degree in
Psychology, through the University of Phoenix. Grammar and I have never really
seen eye-to-eye – you know, it’s never come over on Saturday to share a sundae
(Sunday). Seriously though, some of my instructors really taught me some great
skills that I’ve utilized in my writing today. For instance, I use to write towards all the time. I had instructors
tell me that it should never have the s
on the end. Now, when I see read others writing, it is something that I pick up
on.
Blogging
came to me pretty naturally. I have been keeping journals for a majority of my
life. Most of them are devotionals, where I have studied sections of the Bible.
I wrote down the passage, the message, and how it pertains to my life.
Similarly, when I was in therapy they too suggested journaling. They gave me
material to read over, so I would take a section at a time, read it carefully,
and then write about it in my journal. This helped me to coordinate any
questions I have for my next appointments. Blogging is like free therapy!
It took me
awhile to learn formatting and layouts, what worked and what doesn't I think I
am still learning. I’m still trying to get followers and readers to comment –
any suggestions? I have
actually lost sleep from working on my blogs. It’s a good thing though, because
it is something that I enjoy doing. I just hope other readers enjoy it as well.
Until next
time or the next… dream
Loved reading about how you got into blogging. Like you learning formats and lay outs. Im still learning. Love blogging. It was a great way to express my self. Unlike you I didnt really keep journals but have always wrote or expressed myself through writing.

Blogging is definitely great therapy! It's part of why I blog under a pseudonym though. I love the freedom to be completely honest without feeling like I'm sharing my therapy session with everyone in my daily life.
